HEALTH & SAFETY REPORT 2018

The three-year rolling average non-fatal injury rate is considered in Figure 9 below. Taking a longer-term average means that annual fluctuations are smoothed and provides a clearer trend. It is notable that after a period of slight increase in the years to 2014-15, a downward trend is apparent in the years since.
